    Quoted from SBrothers:

    The world of pinball would be well served by someone who knows how to succinctly explain the basic rules of a pinball machine.
    I also play board games and Rodney of “How it’s played” knows how to clearly educate you on a new board game.

    Yes we have the live streams where pinheads and even the actual game designers walk you through a game, but the info can at times be somewhat haphazardly presented.
    Short of the fact that pinball code constantly evolves these days and a tutorial video shot today may be obsolete tomorrow...why have no manufacturers felt the need to invest in well produced tutorial videos?

    For basic game play videos, there are couple good resources.

    PAPA has a bunch of basic flipper skills videos.

    If you're looking for rules, Bowen's videos are phenomenal. I also learned a lot from his dialog during the videos. I did this because of this, or pay attention to your ball save, or I got that away from the out lane by doing this, etc, etc.

    You also have these which are pretty good.

    Just to follow up, my favorite way to learn a new machine is get together with a bunch of people from my league, grab a beer, play the game and try to figure it out as a group. That is honestly my favorite part of pinball.
